The Playstation 3 has been cracked so hard even its momma felt the blow. "Approximately a half hour in, the team revealed their new PS3 secrets, the moment we all were waiting for. One of the major highlights here was, dongle-less jailbreaking by breaking the PS3 loaders, giving complete control over the system. The other major feat, was calculating the public private keys (due to botched security), giving users the ability to sign their own SELFs."

Watched the whole presentation... Pretty impressive really, they managed to systematically dismantle virtually every layer of security. Sony appears to have screwed up quite a few of the deeper layers of security, choosing to rely almost solely on a few key mechanimsms apparently believing them to be impenetrable, but that ended up costing them...

Highly recommend watching all 3 parts of the presentation, they give a very thorough explanation of all the security layers and how each one was either defeated, proven ineffective, or worked around all the way to the point of them getting the signing keys.

i was watching in disbelief especially about that crypto part with constant "random" value.

i think that might put a big question mark over quality of many sony security technologies.

still i don't think it would all be possible without being to run linux on the device in the first place. it might take a few more months/years if it weren't for that - the outside layer of encryption seems very solid.
